One thing you can do is include a blank lockword in the formal designator
if it doesn't have a lockword. For example, change:

   MYFILE.PUB.MYAPP

to

   MYFILE/.PUB.MYAPP

This will cause the HPFOPEN call to return a lockword violation error
code (FSERR 92, I think) rather than prompting for the lockword.
